TO ALL PERSONS 'FO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME:

Bc it known that I, DANIEL-M. SKINNER, of Sandwich Centre, in the count)f of' Carroll, and State of' New Hampshire, lntvc invented anew and useful or improved Implement for Lifting` and Removing@ Dish or Pluto from n Stove Oven, or for supporting it while being inserted in en oven or in u stove or heating apparatus; and I do hereby dechire the same to be Fully described in the following speciicution, und represented in the accomn pnnying drawings, of which- Figurc 1 is :t top View,

Figure 2 u front view, und

Figure 3 u side elevation ol' it.

The whole implement is to be constructed of wire und in one piece, although it need not necessarily be so umile, :is it muy be formed of two or more pieces of wire. In the first place the piece of wire of the proper length is to be bent around at its middle, so as to form it there in the shupe of :t spring, as shown 1t a, m1 with the twovpurts next thereto arranged in manner as shown at b b. Next euch leg or part of' the wire is to be again bent, as shown at e. Next itis to be curved or bent as represented at d. Next it is to be bent down at u right angle, or thereabonts, as shown et Next it is to be bent nt un obtuse angle, ns shown et g, Next itis to be bent again :is seen at h. Next it is to be curved :is shown :1t Next it is to be bent upward at a, right angle, as shown at lc. Next at nn obtuse angle, as shown at l; and finally, the end is to be turned 0r hooked around the bend c. I would remark that the curve ol' each port ri is to be quicker, that is` formed with a radius shorter than tha-t of the curve of the part z'.

When the implement is used it is to be seized by its handle portion A, und applied to the plate or dish so as to grasp it on opposite sides, and with itis rim restingr 0n either pair ol' the parts, or d d, of what muv he termed the jaws B B. v

I claim theplate-lifter made as described, viz, of u wire bent ns shown nt a b c d f g fr ik I, so us to form the elastic handle portion A und two open juvrs B B, :is represented.
